Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire

Considered to be director Zack Snyder's own version of Star Wars, Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire is just the first half of a massive sci-fi event. The second part of the first film, Rebel Moon: Part Two - The Scargiver, will be released in Apr. 2024. Fans of the director will want to tune in for this movie since it's one of Netflix's biggest and most expensive releases this December.

The story centers on a mysterious woman named Kora (Sofia Boutella) tasked with putting together a group of insurgents and warriors to fight back against an oppressive ruling force threatening a peaceful colony located on the edge of the galaxy. Critics haven't been kind to this movie, but it's probably worth watching to form your own opinion.
